Abstract
The versatile properties make hydrogels a potential multipurpose material that finds wide applications. However, the preparation of multipurpose hydrogels is very challenging. Here, we report a method based on free radical reaction and composite mechanisms to prepare mechanical and electrical self-healing multifunctional hydrogels. In this study, the introduction of imidazolium salt ionic liquids and glycerol in the hydrogel system endows the gels with good antibacterial, conductive, and adhesive properties and excellent antifreeze properties. The testing results show that the as-prepared hydrogel has stable mechanical and electrical properties even under the extremely cold condition of -50°C after self-healing. Moreover, the active esters formed in the dynamic radical reaction have better reducibility, thus further investing the as-prepared hydrogel with high antioxidant activity. The application results show that these comprehensive properties make such hydrogel system very useful in wound repair and wearable strain sensors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to detect the expression of long intergenic non-protein-coding RNA 1503 (LINC01503) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to further study its biological function, as well as the regulatory relationships of c-MYC with LINC01503 and the extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Tissue specimens were collected from 36 NSCLC patients, and the relative expression level of LINC01503 in the 36 cases of NSCLC tissue specimens and NSCLC cells was then determined using quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Then, the effects of LINC01503 on the proliferation and apoptosis of NSCLC cells were detected in vitro via Cell-Counting Kit (CCK)-8 assay, colony-forming assay and flow cytometry. Besides, the possible LINC01503 promoter-binding transcription factor was predicted using bioinformatics. After interference with c-MYC expression, the changes in the expression of LINC01503 were examined through qRT-PCR. Finally, the changes in the expressions of the molecular markers in the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway after interference with LINC01503 and c-MYC expressions were evaluated using Western blotting. RESULTS According to qRT-PCR results, the expression of LINC01503 was upregulated in 30 out of 36 cases of NSCLC tissues. Compared with that in human normal bronchial epithelial cells, the expression of LINC01503 was elevated in NSCLC cells. As shown by the CCK-8 assay and colony-forming assay, the proliferation ability of NSCLC cells was weakened after interference with LINC01503 expression, and the flow cytometry results revealed the apoptosis rate of NSCLC cells was raised after interference with LINC01503 expression. Moreover, the bioinformatics prediction showed that c-MYC might be the LINC01503 promoter-binding transcription factor. Additionally, it was found through the qRT-PCR that the expression of LINC01503 declined after interference with c-MYC expression. Finally, based on Western blotting results, the expressions of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and p-MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK), the molecular markers in the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway, were inhibited after interference with c-MYC and LINC01503 expressions. CONCLUSIONS The transcription factor c-MYC promotes the expression of LINC01503 in NSCLC and activates the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway to drive the development and progression of NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in the elderly and seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Tra2β is a protein that has been found to activate PI3K/Akt in recent years. The purpose of this study was to explore the protective effects of Tra2β on chondrocytes and its mechanisms. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of Tra2β in knee cartilage tissue of patients with OA and normal people was compared. In addition, human primary chondrocytes were cultured, the expression of Tra2β in chondrocytes by cell transfection was changed, and its effects on extracellular matrix, inflammation, and apoptosis in chondrocytes were examined. LY294002 was also used to inhibit the activity of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to verify the mechanism of Tra2β to protect chondrocytes. RESULTS The expression of Tra2β in the cartilage tissue of the OA group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the IL-1β-induced chondrocytes also expressed the lower Tra2β. The overexpression of Tra2β increased the expression of extracellular matrix collagen II and decreased the expressions of MMP3/13, inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α), and apoptotic factors (caspase3/9, Bax). In addition, the overexpression of Tra2β also increased expression and phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt. However, LY294002 attenuated the protective effect of Tra2β on chondrocytes by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Tra2β activates the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, reduces the degradation of extracellular matrix of chondrocytes, reduces the level of inflammation and apoptosis of chondrocytes, and thus, plays a role in the treatment of OA.

Abstract
The ceRNA network involving circular RNAs (circRNAs) is essential in the cardiovascular system. We investigated the underlying ceRNA network involving circHIPK3 in myocardial infarction (MI). After an MI model was established, cardiac function was verified, and myocardial tissue damage in mice with MI was evaluated. A hypoxia model of cardiomyocytes was used to simulate MI in vivo, and the expression of and targeting relationships among circHIPK3, miR-93-5p, and Rac1 were verified. The apoptosis of cardiomyocyte was identified. Gain- and loss-of-functions were performed to verify the ceRNA mechanism. The MI-modeled mice showed cardiac dysfunction and enlarged infarct size. CircHIPK3 was highly expressed in mouse and cell models of MI. Silencing circHIPK3 reduced infarct size, myocardial collagen deposition, and myocardial apoptosis rate and improved cardiac function. CircHIPK3 sponged miR-93-5p, and miR-93-5p targeted Rac1. Overexpression of miR-93-5p inhibited MI-induced cardiomyocyte injury and eliminated the harmful effect of circHIPK3. CircHIPK3 acted as ceRNA to absorb miR-93-5p, thus promoting the activation of the Rac1/PI3K/AKT pathway. We highlighted that silencing circHIPK3 can upregulate miR-93-5p and then inhibit the activation of Rac1/PI3K/Akt pathway, which can improve MI-induced cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has an effect on cancer cell proliferation and survival. TMTC1 has been reported to be involved in cell proliferation and inflammation, and development of ER. Hsa_circRNA_101036 is an exon circRNA formed by splicing of TMTC1 mRNA precursor. This study intends to explore the effect of hsa_circRNA_101036 on the malignant behavior of oral squamous cell carcinoma through endoplasmic reticulum stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS We firstly evaluated the levels of Hsa_circRNA_101036 in human oral mucous fibroblasts (hOMF), and in several OSCC cell lines, including FaDu, OECM1, SAS, HSC3. Then, we studied the effects of overexpression of Hsa_circRNA_101036 on the cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, and cytokine release in OSCC cells. Finally, we evaluated the levels of CHOP that are critical in ER and the ROS levels in OSCC cells. RESULTS We found that compared with hOMF, a significantly lower mRNA expression of Hsa_circRNA_101036 was found in OECM1 and HSC3 cells. In OECM1 and HSC3 cells, with overexpression of Hsa_circRNA_101036, a significant decrease in cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, and cytokine release was found. A significantly increased ROS, as well as increased protein level of CHOP, P38 and Bcl-2, was found in cells with Hsa_circRNA_101036 overexpression. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that Hsa_circRNA_101036 may acts as a tumor suppressor in OSCC via regulating the ER in cancer cells.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatments of lung cancers, and multiple predictive biomarkers alone or in combination help clinicians with the appropriate therapeutic selections. Recently, chemo-immunotherapy has been recommended for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancers in patients without driver mutations. However, the clinical relevance of predictive biomarkers and the treatment efficacy of chemo-immunotherapy in large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) remain unclear. Here, we reported a rare case of LCLC with none driver gene mutations and low values of multiple predictive biomarkers. These biomarkers included a low PD-L1 expression of 5–10%, a low tumor mutational burden (TMB) of 2.5 muts/mb, a low CD8(+) tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte density of 147.91 psc/mm². After one-cycle chemotherapy, the patient progressed rapidly and then was switched to pembrolizumab combining paclitaxel plus cisplatin. Interestingly, he achieved a partial response after two cycles of chemo-immunotherapy, showing multiple lymph nodes obviously shrunk on CT scan, and other clinical symptoms were relieved when compared with the baseline findings. After five cycles of chemo-immunotherapy, this advanced patient still benefited and was changed to maintenance immunotherapy monotherapy. This case suggests that chemo-immunotherapy may provide an effective therapeutic option for those LCLC patients with low values of multiple predictive biomarkers, particularly for those who progressed from first-line classical treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dacomitinib is a potent, irreversible and pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, evidence of its activity on brain metastasis is lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS NSCLC patients diagnosed at Hunan Cancer Hospital between July, 2019 and July, 2020 with enhanced MRI-detected brain metastasis prior to treatment and laboratory-confirmed EGFR mutations were reviewed. In total, 14 EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with brain metastasis were treated with first-line dacomitinib. The first radiographic review of chest CT and brain MRI was after one month and thereafter every 2 months. The objective response rate (ORR) and the depth of the brain metastasis response were determined via RECIST 1.1 and RANO-LM criteria. RESULTS In total, 14 of 59 EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC patients who received first-line dacomitinib therapy had brain metastasis before treatment. Among these patients, 5 were given a dacomitinib starting dose of 45 mg once daily, while 9 received 30 mg daily until disease progression or unbearable toxicity. Eight patients harbored EGFR 19del, 5 had EGFR L858R, and one patient had EGFR G719A and I706 T co-mutations. The median duration of follow-up was 4.5 months. All patients received at least one review. The ORR was 92.9 % (13/14) and the disease control rate (DCR) was 100 %. A measurable response of the intracranial metastases was observed in 12 of 14 patients (85.7 %), including 12 of 13 (92.3 %) with brain parenchymal metastasis, but the one patient with meningeal metastasis did not respond well. All patients (100 %) had grade 1-2 adverse effects, but none discontinued treatment or required a dosage adjustment. CONCLUSIONS This case series study of 14 patients has shown that dacomitinib has potent efficacy for central nervous system (CNS) metastasis in EGFR-positive NSCLC. More data are required to confirm its advantages and optimize its clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids may impact the accuracy of serum cystatin C (sCysC) in reflecting renal function. We aimed to assess the effect of glucocorticoids on the performance of sCysC in detecting acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study was performed in a general intensive care unit (ICU). Using propensity score matching, we successfully matched 240 glucocorticoid users with 960 non-users among 2716 patients. Serum creatinine (SCr) and sCysC were measured for all patients at ICU admission. Patients were divided into four groups based on cumulative doses of glucocorticoids within 5 days before ICU admission (Group I: non-users; Group II: 0 mg < prednisone ≤50 mg; Group III: 50 mg < prednisone ≤150 mg; Group IV: prednisone > 150 mg). We compared the performance of sCysC for diagnosing and predicting AKI in different groups using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS A total of 240 patients received glucocorticoid medication within 5 days before ICU admission. Before and after matching, the differences of sCysC levels between glucocorticoid users and non-users were both significant (P < 0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that glucocorticoids were independently associated with sCysC (P < 0.001). After matching, the group I had significantly lower sCysC levels than the group III and group IV (P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in sCysC levels within different glucocorticoids recipient groups (P > 0.05). Simultaneously, we did not find significant differences in the AUC between any two groups in the matched cohort (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Glucocorticoids did not impact the performance of sCysC in identifying AKI in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the feasibility of small drain in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). Methods: A prospective research was performed in Department of Oncology Plastic Surgery/Head and Neck Surgery, Hunan Cancer Hospital, from October 2018 to March 2019. Totally 103 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, signed the operation agreement of TOETVA, had their surgery completed and followed-up over 6 months, were enrolled in analysis. A central venous catheter was used as a drain tube in all cases (outer diameter 1.7 mm, inner diameter 1.0 mm). Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied for assessing pain scores during the first 24 hours after the operation. Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used for assessing the scar left by the drainage. The drainage volume (minimum scale:10 ml, approximate read: 1 ml) was recorded every 2 hours during the first postoperative 12 hours, every 4 hours during 12 to 24 hours, every 8 hours during 24 to 48 hours, and once from 48 hours until extubation. The volume of drainage, the cumulative volume and the percentage of cumulative volume accounting for the total volume were calculated. The data of residual volume (subtract the cumulative volume from the total volume) in the postoperative 24, 32 and 40 hours were analyzed, and their upper one-side P(95) was calculated by percentile method. Results: There were 12 males and 91 females. The age was (36.6±9.7) years (range: 18 to 58 years). The intraoperative tube-inserting time was (10.1±2.6) minutes (range: 6 to 18 minutes). The pain score on the first day was 2.7±1.1 (range: 1 to 5). The extubation time was (2.7±0.5) days (range: 2 to 4 days). VSS scores in the postoperative 1(st) month and 6(th) month were 2.9±1.3 (range: 0 to 7) and 0(2)(M(Q(R))), respectively. The size of the scar was 0 (2.5) mm in the postoperative 6(th) month. Sixty-four patients had no visible scars. There were 5 patients who had postoperative drain-related complications (1 for air leakage, 1 for tube blockage, 3 for subcutaneous hydrop, 2 for regional infection), who were all cured after proper treatment. The total volume of drainage for 98 patients without postoperative drain-related complications was (80.1±12.2) ml (range: 58 to 131 ml). The cumulative drainage within 8 hours accounted for (53.8±4.2)% (range: 41.0% to 62.9%) of the total drainage. The volume of residual fluids in the postoperative 32 hours was estimated to (5.8±2.7) ml (range: 0 to 12 ml,P(95)=10.0 ml). Conclusions: The small drain tubecan be applied in TOETVA, providing a satisfied cosmetic appearance and a reliable drainage. The main exudation period of the wound is within 8 hours after the operation. If a residual volume less than 10 ml is considered to be self-absorbable, the shortest safe extubation point for 95% patients without drain-related complications should be 32 hours after the operation.

Abstract
Rugao and Haian belonging to First Branch of Su-Wan Liberated Area found fulminant cholera in 1946. The fulminant cholera spread throughout the Su-Wan Liberated Area in a short period of time. Thus, local mass and military led by CPC actively launched the Movement of Epidemic Prevention. They took some actions to clear up the circumstance, eliminate the pathogen, prevent the food contamination and cut off the route of transmission. Vaccination was carried out on a large scale. As a result of these measure, the fulminant cholera was efficiently controlled.

Abstract
Background
This is a case study for recurrent stroke prevention. Lifestyle factors account for about 80% of the risk of recurrent stroke. Most health services studies examining stroke prevention rely on stroke survivors' self-reported lifestyle behaviour data. How can researchers increase the value of collected self-reported data to provide additional information for more comprehensive assessments?

This case study linked self-reported longitudinal lifestyle data in the 45 and Up Study, with corresponding mortality data (i.e. NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages & NSW Cause of Death Unit Record File) and hospital data (i.e. NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection) via the Centre for Health Record Linkage (CHeReL). The main outcome measures are health services, clinical outcomes, and mortality rates for stroke care. The analyses will include descriptive analysis, multivariate regression analysis, and survival analysis.
Results
A total of 8410 stroke survivors who participated in the 45 and Up Study were included in this data linkage study. From January 2006 to December 2015, 99249 hospital claims (mean: 13 times admission to hospital per person) and 2656 death registration records have been linked to these participants. The mean age of the stroke survivors was 72 (SD = 11) years, with 56% being males. These results are preliminary and more analyses will be conducted by using quality of life status, clinical diagnosis, comorbidities, and procedures.
Conclusions
Data linkage enables researchers to generate comprehensive findings on health services studies and gain a more holistic understanding of the determinants and outcomes of stroke prevention with lower data collection costs and less burden on participants.
Key messages
Data linkage brings about a new opportunity for self-reported data on health services utilisation. It is a cost-effective way to enhance existing self-reported data via the data linkage approach to increase its usefulness for informing health service planning.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Stroke prevention via lifestyle modification is a public health priority in developed countries. Few studies have examined the association of high-risk lifestyle factors with long-term mortality of stroke survivors. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effect of key lifestyle factors on all-cause mortality after stroke.
Methods
Sample is derived from the 45 and Up Study, the largest ongoing study in the Southern Hemisphere focusing on the health of people aged 45 years and older living in NSW, Australia. The lifestyle data in the 45 and Up Study between 2006 to 2015 were linked with data from the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, NSW Cause of Death Unit Record File, and NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection by the Centre for Health Record Linkage. We defined a high-risk lifestyle as no vigorous exercise, smokers, or > 10 alcoholic drinks/week. Multivariate Cox regression model is used to examine the effect of high-risk lifestyle on survival using 10-year all-cause mortality as the main outcome, adjusted for key confounders.
Results
We analysed information on 8410 adults with a stroke event occurring prior to the baseline 45 and Up Study, and 31% of them died in 10 years. 6219 participants were identified as having a high-risk lifestyle at baseline. Being a current smoker and without vigorous exercise were associated with 41% (95% CI: 16%, 73%) and 52% (95% CI: 30%, 78%) increase in the likelihood of death in 10 years, respectively. However, high-risk alcohol drinking was not significantly associated with survival. Of note, having cardiovascular-related comorbidities showed greater risks of mortality (HR range, 3.6-7.2).
Conclusions
High-risk lifestyle factors were associated with an increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality, suggesting that enhancing public health initiatives to promote 'healthy' lifestyle behaviours can be of great benefit to stroke survivors.
Key messages
It is essential for stroke survivors to maintain a healthy lifestyle to delay all-cause mortality. Stroke survivors with high-risk lifestyle may be associated with increased likelihood of death if they have comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension.

Peripheral Blood Biomarkers Associated With Outcome in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Nivolumab and Durvalumab Monotherapy. Front Oncol 2020; 10:913.

Abstract
Background: Selecting patients who potentially benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is critical. Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) protein immunohistochemical expression on cancer cells or immune cells and next-generation sequencing-based tumor mutational burden (TMB) are hot spots in studies on ICIs, but there is still confusion in the testing methods. Because blood samples are much easier for clinical application, many potential peripheral biomarkers have been proposed. This study identified blood parameters associated with the outcome of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with ICI monotherapy. Materials and Methods: Data from 76 NSCLC patients were analyzed retrospectively. To assess the connection between survival and peripheral blood markers measured before the first and fifth doses of ICI treatment, we utilized Cox regression model survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to assess the markers. Results: In the nivolumab cohort, the optimal cutoffs for predicting 11-month overall survival (OS) were 168.13 and 43 g/L for platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and albumin, respectively. When patients were grouped with PLR and albumin, a significant difference in SD-PR vs. PD rate was found between the high and low groups, which was not found when the patients were grouped by PD-L1 expression. Patients with high PLR (>168.13) or low albumin ( ≤ 43 g/L) before ICI had a significantly increased hazard of progression, separately (for PLR, P = 0.006; for albumin, P = 0.033), and of death (for PLR, P = 0.014; for albumin, P = 0.009) compared with those patients who had low PLR or albumin levels. More importantly, we found that a higher PLR (>168.13) before the fifth dose of ICIs was also a prognostic biomarker, which significantly correlated with shorter OS in both the nivolumab (P = 0.046) and durvalumab cohorts (P = 0.028). Conclusions: PLR and albumin may help in the stratification of high progression and death risk groups in advanced NSCLC patients treated with nivolumab and durvalumab monotherapy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the selection and effects of flap/myocutaneous flap repair methods for the defect after perineum tumor resection. Methods: From January 2011 to February 2017, 31 patients with vulvar tumor who were admitted to Hunan Cancer Hospital underwent repair of wound after tumor resection with various flaps/myocutaneous flaps. The patients were composed of 5 males and 26 females, aged 39-76 years, with 27 vulvar cancer and 4 Paget's disease in primary diseases. The size of defects after vulvar tumor radical resection ranged from 8.0 cm×4.5 cm to 27.5 cm×24.0 cm. According to the theory of perforasome, the defects were repaired by the external pudendal artery perforator flap, deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap, rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, anterolateral thigh flap, internal pudendal artery perforator flap, gracilis myocutaneous flap, and profunda artery perforator flap based on the specific size and location of perineum and groin where the defect was located. According to the blood supply zone of flap, totally 17 local translocation flaps, 18 axial flaps/myocutaneous flaps, and 7 V-Y advancement flaps were resected, with an area of 7.0 cm×4.0 cm to 21.0 cm×13.0 cm. All the flaps/myocutaneous flaps were transferred in pedicled fashion, and the donor sites were closed without tension. The number of flaps/myocutaneous flaps, wound closure, flaps/myocutaneous flaps survival, and follow-up were observed and recorded. Results: Altogether 42 flaps/myocutaneous flaps were harvested in 31 patients. Two flaps/myocutaneous flaps were used in 11 cases for large circular defect repair. All the defects achieved tension-free primary closure. The blood supply of 32 flaps/myocutaneous flaps was good, while insufficient blood supply was noted in the other 10 flaps/myocutaneous flaps. Seventeen flaps/myocutaneous flaps survived smoothly. Wound dehiscence occurred in 5 flaps/myocutaneous flaps 8 to 14 days postoperatively, which was healed with dressing change. Temporary congestion was noted in 7 flaps/myocutaneous flaps 2 to 5 days postoperatively, which recovered without special treatment. Three flaps/myocutaneous flaps had infection 7 to 15 days postoperatively, two of which recovered after dressing change, while the other one had partial necrosis and received debridement and direct closure. Two flaps/myocutaneous flaps were totally necrotic 8 to 15 days postoperatively, which were repaired with pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap after debridement. Seven flaps/myocutaneous flaps had partial necrosis 7 to 20 days postoperatively and were healed after dressing change. Twenty-four patients were followed up for 9-38 months. The color of flaps/myocutaneous flaps was similar to that of the surrounding skin, the shape of vulva was natural, the movement of hip joint was not limited, the function of micturition and defecation was not affected, and tumor recurrence was noted in 3 patients. Conclusions: For the complicated large defect after perineum tumor resection, the flexible application of different forms of flaps/myocutaneous flaps to repair according to different areas regains the appearance and function. However, there are many complications, so it is necessary to further strengthen the postoperative care.

Abstract
9536 Background: Cancer-related fibroblasts (CAFs) are important components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and play a key role in tumor progression. There is growing evidence that CAF levels in tumors are highly correlated with treatment response and prognosis. However, the effect of CAFs on immunotherapy response remains unknown. Methods: RNA-seq and clinical data were downloaded from TCGA and GEO. The SVA package ComBat function was used to remove batch effects. The ssGSEA algorithm was used to assess the level of cell infiltration in each sample. OS (overall survival) and DFS (disease free survival) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method. GO enrichment analysis was used to assess the biological processes of subgroup differential genes. The Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) algorithm and subclass mapping were used to predict the clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade. Results: We evaluated the infiltration abundance of 24 types of immune cells and fibroblasts in 1768 NSCLC samples and found that almost all IMFRs (immune cells / fibroblasts) are beneficial to the prognosis. This phenomenon is called “CAFs-mediated immune resistance pattern (CMIRP)”. We evaluated the infiltration abundance of 24 types of immune cells and fibroblasts in 1768 NSCLC samples and found that almost all IMFRs (immune cells / fibroblasts) are beneficial to the prognosis. This phenomenon is called “CAFs-mediated immune resistance pattern (CMIRP)”. The prognosis according to CD8+ T cells was not strong, but CD8+ T cells / fibroblasts (CFR) were significant protective prognostic factors [n = 1588; hazard ratio (HR), 0.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.56–0.78; P < 0.001]. Multivariate analysis revealed that the CFR was an independent prognostic biomarker. The TCGA pan-cancer cohort confirmed the widespread presence of CMIRP in cancer. We further defined the CFR high and CFR low subgroups. CFR high samples were enriched with immune activation pathways including T cell activation, cytolysis, and antigen presentation, while CFR low was associated with immunosuppression including activation of transforming growth factor β, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and angiogenesis pathways. Finally, we combined TIDE and submap to speculate that CFR is a potential prognostic marker of immunotherapy for NSCLC. Conclusions: We proposed the term “CMIRP” to shed light on a more accurate assessment of immune status. CFR is a potential marker for prognosis and predictive efficacy of immunotherapy in NSCLC.

When patients are grouped with PLR and albumin the cut-offs, a significant difference in SD-PR vursus PD rate were found between high and low groups, separately. which was not found when grouped by PD-L1 expression. Patients with high PLR ( > 168.13) or low albumin ( < = 43g/L) before ICI had a significantly raised hazard of progression, separately (for PLR, P = 0.006; for albumin, P = 0.033) and of death (for PLR, P = 0.014; for albumin, P = 0.009) compared with those patients who had low PLR or albumin level. More importantly, we found that higher PLR ( > 168.13) after the fourth cycle of ICIs was also an prognostic biomarker, which significantly correlated with shorter OS in both Nivolumab (P = 0.046) and durvalumab cohort (P = 0.028). Conclusions: PLR and albumin may help the stratification of high progression and death risk group in advanced NSCLC patients treated with nivolumab and durvalumab monotherapy.
